Complainant is registered owner of mark Money Mart and has used it
for a number of years. Respondent registered the domain name, usmoneymart.com
but it is not identifiable to any product, service or website managed or
operated by the Respondent.

Held, Name Transferred to Complainant.

Respondents domain name is identical or confusingly similar to Complainants
established service mark.

Respondent has no legitimate interest with respect to the name.

Respondent has demonstrated a pattern of registering domain names
which are confusingly similar to other registered names. Respondent
is also in the habit of asking for a minimum of $5000 for its domain names,
which is in excess of out-of-pocket expenses related to the domain names.
Respondent attempted to sell the domain name to Complainant. This
infers that registration was done primarily for the purpose of selling
the domain name, which demonstrates bad faith.

Banks, Jr., Panelist: -

The above matter came on for an administrative hearing on June 19, 2000
before the
undersigned on the Complaint of Dollar Financial Group, Inc., hereafter
"Complainant", against Chisholm Internet Consultants, hereafter "Respondent".
The
Complainant was represented by counsel. The Respondent did not
file a response
and was not represented.

Upon
the written submitted record, the following DECISION is made:

PROCEDURAL FINDINGS

Domain Name: USMONEYMART.COM

Domain Name Registrar: Alabanza/dba BulkRegister.com

Domain Name Registrant: Chisholm Internet Consultants

Date of Registration: March 22, 2000.

Date Complaint Filed: May 19, 2000.

Date of Commencement of Administrative Proceeding: May 22, 2000.

Date of Response: Respondent did not file a response as required by
Rule 5(a).

Remedy requested by Complainant: Transfer of Domain Name to Complainant.

After
reviewing the Complaint and determining it to be in administrative
compliance, the National Arbitration Forum (The Forum) forwarded the
Complaint to
the Respondent in compliance with Rule 2(a), and the administrative
proceeding was
commenced pursuant to Rule 4(c). In compliance with Rule 4(d),
The Forum
immediately notified Alabanza/dba BulkRegister.com (Alabanza), the
Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), and the Complainant
that
the administrative proceeding had commenced.

The
Respondent registered the domain name with Alabanza/dba
BulkRegister.com, the entity that is the Registrar of the domain name.
By registering
its domain name with Alabanza, the Respondent agreed to resolve
any dispute
regarding its domain name through ICANN'S Uniform Domain Name Dispute
Resolution Policy.

FINDINGS OF FACT

1. The Complainant Dollar Financial Group,
Inc. is the registered owner of the
service mark MONEY MART and has used that mark since 1984.

2. The Respondent registered the domain
name USMONEYMART.COM on
March 22, 2000.

3. The domain name is not identifiable
to any product, service or website managed
or operated by the Respondent.

4. The Respondent's domain name USMONEYMART.COM
is identical or
confusingly similar to the Complainants established service mark.

5. The Respondent has no legitimate interests
in respect of the domain name.

6. Respondent is a professional trader
in domain names. Using the pseudonym
"noranda," Respondent presently offers 649 domain names for sale on
the "Afternic"
Internet domain name auction site.

7. Respondent has registered many domain
names that are confusingly similar to
registered U.S. Trademarks such as "USCABLEVISION.COM", AND
"ALLSTATEINSURERS.COM".

9. Respondent's registration of domain
names which are confusingly or
substantially similar to registered service marks of others constitutes
a pattern of
conduct to register and sell domain names for consideration in excess
of documented
costs directly related to the domain name registration.

10. Following discovery of Respondent's domain name registration,
Complainant
demanded that Respondent cease and desist from use of the domain name.
Respondent's reply was to demand $2,500 for the transfer of the name
to
Complainant.

11. The Respondent's failure to file a response to the complaint,
coupled with the
fact that it listed the domain name for sale and attempted to sell
to Complainant, as
described above, permits an inference that registration of the domain
name was done
primarily for the purpose of selling or otherwise transferring the
domain name
registration to the Complainant, who is the owner of the service mark,
for a valuable
consideration in excess of any documented out-of-pocket costs directly
related to the
domain name. This constitutes registration and use of a domain
name in bad faith.

12. The Complainant's prayer for relief requests that the domain
name
USMONEYMART.COM be transferred from Respondent to Complainant.

CONCLUSIONS

The
undersigned certifies that he has acted independently and has no known
conflict of interest to serve as the Arbitrator in this proceeding.
Having been duly
selected and being impartial, the undersigned makes the following findings
and
conclusions:

1. The domain name USMONEYMART.COM registered
by Respondent on
March 22, 2000, with Alabanza/dba BulkRegister.com is identical to
or confusingly
similar to Complainant's registered service mark in which the Complainant
has rights,
and to which the Respondent has no right or legitimate interests.

2. The domain name USMONEYMART.COM was
registered and is being used
in bad faith in that the Respondent registered the name primarily for
the purpose of
selling or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the
Complainant,
who is the owner of the trademark or to a competitor for valuable consideration
in
excess of documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain
name.

DECISION

Based
upon the above findings and conclusions, and pursuant to Rule 4(I), it
is decided as follows:

THE
UNDERSIGNED DIRECTS THAT THE DOMAIN NAME
USMONEYMART.COM, REGISTERED BY RESPONDENT CHISHOLM
INTERNET CONSULTANTS BE TRANSFERRED TO COMPLAINANT
DOLLAR FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
